[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree.  Why not just have a simple local ceremony, and then go on a honeymoon?
Destination weddings are selfish and overcomplicated, and scream of entitlement.[/quote]

OP here. This is what I was thinking. Go on the honeymoon to this location, not make everyone go.

I also wanted a destination wedding for all of five minutes. My parents, my in laws and DH all said it would be too difficult for guests to get to and shut it down. We did go on a beautiful honeymoon. [/quote]

Well, why did YOU want a destination wedding for those 5 minutes? That's why people have them. That you set aside what you wanted because other people found it inconvenient doesn't mean that this couple needs to do that too.

No one is "making" you go. You are always free to decline an invitation that you cannot accept for logistical reasons.

The couple getting married gets to have their priorities about their wedding. If they prioritize getting married in Aruba over your specific attendance, based on your contributions to this thread, it sounds like they will have a better time with that decision than you did, despite your "beautiful" honeymoon.

Be less bitter, shrew.[/quote]

I already said we would go. We will likely be the only family going.

I’m not sure how this makes me bitter.

I had a fantastic wedding with our friends and family all present.[/quote]
